Pink Floyd - Meddle
Overview - Meddle, Pink Floyd’s fifth effort, is a record that I’d have to say is pretty much average at best. The record starts very strong and ends very strong, but the work in between is honestly just mediocre in my opinion. It isn’t that the songs are bad, …

Lasers Album- Lupe Fiasco

“How Do Like Me Now” by Toby Keith. A Music Album
To be completely and totally honest I am not a huge, die-hard country fan. I am the type of person who likes a mixture of music. That being said several years ago I was in walmart when I saw Toby Keith’s album “How DoYou Like Me Now”. If memory …

David Guetta (Musician)
The musician David Guetta is one of my favourite EDM Disc Jockeys. Even though he’s been around from the early 2000s, I only took notice of him when I really got into Electronic Dance Music in 2010 or 2011. He’s become one of my favourites because I find his mixes …

Lady Gaga’s “The Fame Monster”
